Thankfully it's zoom and not part of the challenge. But sick shit hand 140bbs and 90% equity and 3 way

it's fucking impossible to play poker when someone just keep running so good on xmas day. I'm literally winning 1 bi then losing 1 and winning 1 and losing 1 for this whole session. all the bis I lost are due to flopping top set and getting owned on turn.. by this same guy.

Ballin'

Not much progress since 5k hands ago, BR right now is $189.45.

Another winning session at plo10 and I should be shooting plo25, and hopefully I can finally finish the challenge.

I'm at 23996 hands now with 12.3bb/100 and 10.3 ev bb/100

Just need one more winning session, as always. But cards just sucked again. Sigh

Only hit decent in 2 pots at the end of the session, for a small deficit. It was alot worse.

BR: $185.83

BR: $174.20

So.. I've decided that I'm a bit sick of regular tables (Really hard to put in volume) and I've been playing zoom more often to collect vpps(but weren't part of the challenge)

So from now on, I will include zoom hands into this challenge. Hopefully it works out and I finish the challenge quicker!

BR: $215.79

Superb start to the new year. May play again later and see if I can hit $225 and then I will shoot plo25

Nice one tommy. Now for the other 364 days

BR: $176.56

My run good doesn't go beyond 300 hands.

God doesn't want me to shoot plo25. Oh well

BR: $223.43

Epic swingy session. Within 1k hands today went from BE to up 4bi to BE to up 5bi ♦

Shooting PLO25 tmr, wish me luck, may end up down 4bi :/

Can't ever run good for once when I move up. So sick.

Kiss my ass. Last hand before moving down (Wanted to move down before this already but was waiting to sit out next big blind)

BR: $153.51

BR: $141.69

It is impossible to run good, I swear. I just don't feel like I can complete this challenge (too much moving up and down)

Should I just quit and just play plo25 long term (I have >80BIs)

decided to jump to plo25, on a 15+ BI downswing. lost lots of pots in deep spots

It's painful as hell

Maybe plo isnt for me?

Plo is tough for sure... Only the strongest endure ♠_cool:

Btw, the hand above is an easy preflop fold

Regards,

Skod

non plo. mostly NL50 cap HU zoom. Had 2 good sessions then this.

I'm constantly trying and failing this month. It sucks

Time for a break
